For agencies · White-label Umbraco
Umbraco delivery for your agency.
Idea Makers is a Silver Umbraco Partner based in Katowice, Poland. Agencies bring us in when a client project needs Umbraco or .NET expertise: we deliver under your brand, join your developers or take on an agreed scope — in your tools, on Central European Time.
Four ways to work with us.
-
01
White-label delivery
We build or develop your client’s Umbraco site under your agency’s brand. Your client works with you; we stay in the background and hand the code and documentation over to you.
-
02
Team extension
Our Umbraco and .NET developers join your team for an agreed period and work in your sprints, on your backlog and in your tools.
-
03
Fixed-scope projects
A defined piece of work with an agreed scope and price: an upgrade, an audit, a feature or an integration.
-
04
Ongoing support
Care for your clients’ Umbraco sites after launch: updates, fixes and small changes in a scope agreed upfront.
Client sites still on Umbraco 13?
Umbraco 13 reaches end of life on 14 December 2026. We can take over the migrations to Umbraco 17 LTS under your brand.
What we put in writing.
-
[01]
NDA before the first technical talk
We sign your NDA, or ours, before we see code, designs or client data.
-
[02]
The code belongs to you
Rights to everything we build pass to your agency or your client, as the contract says.
-
[03]
Your client stays your client
We don’t contact your clients without your consent and we don’t offer them our services.
-
[04]
Your tools, your process
We work in your Jira, Azure DevOps or GitHub and talk on your Slack or Teams.
| We do | We don't | |
|---|---|---|
| Work under your brand and within your process. | Put our name or credits on your client’s site. | |
| Talk to your client when you ask us to, e.g. in a technical workshop. | Contact your clients on our own. | |
| Umbraco and .NET development, integrations and support. | Build new sites on other CMSs, such as WordPress or Drupal. | |
| Estimate after we’ve seen the code and environments. | Quote a fixed price for a project we haven’t seen. |

Two brands, one codebase
We took over the maintenance and further development of the Metrotile and Tilcor websites: we modernised both sites, moved them to Umbraco Cloud and merged them into one shared codebase. We look after them on an ongoing basis.

codebase for two brands instead of two separate repositories

How we start.

NDA and access
We sign the NDA. You give us access to the repository, environments and documentation we need.

Optional pilot task
Not sure yet? Start with a small, paid task from your backlog. You see our code, communication and estimates before you commit to more. If you’re ready, we skip this step.

Questions agencies ask.
01Will our client know you’re involved?
Only if you want them to. In white-label work we stay behind your brand and talk to your client only when you ask us to.
02Who owns the code?
Your agency or your client, as agreed in the contract. At the end of the work we hand over the code, documentation and access.
03Which Umbraco versions do you work with?
Umbraco 17 LTS for new builds, Umbraco 13 for maintenance and migrations, and older versions for audits and migration plans.
04Can you take over a project another team built?
Yes. We start with a review of the code, environments and documentation, then propose the scope.
05What time zone do you work in?
Central European Time (UTC+1, UTC+2 in summer). Our working day overlaps with the UK and the rest of Europe.
06Do you only work with agencies?
No. We also work directly with companies that run Umbraco sites. This page describes how we work with agencies.
Need Umbraco capacity for a client project?
Tell us about the project and what you need from us. We'll suggest a model that fits — and, if you'd like to test us first, a small pilot task.
